The AJ 1 Low OG ‘Banned Bred’ HQ6998-001 returns for the 40th anniversary with rebellious energy — and this time, the iconic “X” makes its comeback.

AJ 1 Low OG 'Banned Bred' HQ6998-001

Celebrating 40 years of Air Jordan history, the legendary “Banned” colorway lands on the Low OG silhouette with a bold, heritage-driven update. Originally revived on the high-top in 2011, this anniversary edition keeps the disruptive spirit alive while offering a streamlined, everyday-ready profile.

The upper arrives in the unmistakable Black and Varsity Red color blocking that helped define sneaker culture. Premium leather construction ensures durability and classic appeal, while a clean Summit White midsole balances the bold tones.

One of the standout details of this release is the return of the “X” motif on the heel, replacing the traditional Air Jordan 1 Low OG heel branding. This subtle but powerful design element nods to the shoe’s rebellious past — a symbol long associated with the “Banned” legacy.

Signature Nike Air tongue branding keeps the OG identity intact, and encapsulated Air cushioning delivers lightweight comfort for daily wear. It’s a tribute to history — redesigned for today’s rotation.
